I do appreciate all of the helpful insight and diagrams above. Thanks for taking the time to explain the old and new concepts to me. I had actually never heard anyone explain ball flight curvature in the "old school" way(other than in text), but I'm a relatively young buck and my father seemed to have a strong grasp on the "new school" even in the early 90s when I was learning the game. The "old school" makes no sense.

I've done exhaustive research, and I agree with what you are saying (you cannot disagree with the laws of physics). I was after a simple and concise way to explain a relatively complex concept to a novice. (Mod: Name-calling and general stupidity removed.)

Thank you for eloquently stating what I was trying to say. The swing path relative to the club face angle (left, right) is what determines ball flight. Would you agree with this statement?

It seems to me that it is the orientation of the club face in relation to the swing path. i.e., if you were to swing inside out with an open face, it would be a straight push, as the club face and swing path are in the same direction. If you were to swing inside out with a square face, the result would be a draw. If you were to swing dead straight with an open club face, the result would be a fade because the club would be coming "outside in" in relation to the club face. Thoughts?

Ladies & Gentlemen, So, I have scoured the internet and can't find a single article, etc. in reference to my "issue". I play quite a bit of golf, and recently have made some major swing changes that I feel will help in the long run. I am using a lot of principles from the "stack and tilt" method. I have had great success on the course, but within the last two weeks, I have developed the DRIVING RANGE YIPS. I spend a lot of time at the practice facility near my house. For some reason, I have issues on the range that never surface on the course. The "yip" only rears its ugly head during a full swing with any iron. Driver is fine, 1/2-3/4 swings are fine. When I take a full iron swing, I hit low, slicing line drives at about a 60 degree angle directly right (I play right handed). It seems the club is hooded and the face is wide open at impact. I just cannot seem to get my hip through and my wrist over at impact. My theory is that I am focusing too much on creating lag and I don't think I am getting my hip out of the way fast enough. But try as I may, I can't mentally do it. I don't know what is going on. Any thoughts, suggestions, medications?? Thanks for any help.
